NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. DALY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Middletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in No11Refillable*B0t--- tles', of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to bottles of the non-refillable type, and has for an object to provide a bottle that cannot be conveniently refilled after the original contents have once been withdrawn therefrom.

The invention comprehends, among other features, the provision of a bottle body supporting an auxiliary neck providing a valve chamber in which is movably arranged a valve normally closing the neck of the bottle body, a suitable cap being provided for the valve to normally repose thereon and close a passage in the valve, with a cork arranged in the auxiliary neck and provided with an opening normally closed by a stopper.

In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of the bottle, showing the valve in normal and closed position, the passage of the cork being open; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bottle body tilted, with the valve in open position; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side elevation of the bottle body, parts being broken away to disclose the position of the stopper in the cork; and Fig. i is a perspective view of the valve.

Referring more particularly to the views, I provide a bottle body lO'including an integral neck 11 extending within an auxiliary neck 12 having its lower end secured to the bottle body by a cementitious material or otherwise, with the said auxiliary neck slightly tapered upwardly and providing a valve chamber 13. The upper end of the neck 11 carries a valve seat 14 consisting of a frusto-co-nical head 16 and an integral shank 17, a longitudinal passage 18 being provided through the head and shank as shown, and with the head. substantially larger at its lower portion than the shank so that the lower portion of the head will i Specification of Letters Patent.

repose upon thev neck 11 and the shank 17 will normally lie within the neck 11.

A frusto-conical valve 19 normally rep'oses on the head 16 of the valve seat 14 and closes the passage 18 therein and a cork 20 is rigidly secured within the auxiliary neck 12 by forcing the cork therein, the said cork having 'a vertical tapered passage 21 termia horizontal pasnating at its lower end in sage 22 formed in the cork 20. A stopper 23 is adapted to be removably received in the vertical passage 21 of the cork to non mally close the same.

In the use of the bottle described, the bottle is filled with fluid before the valve seat 14, cap 19 and cork 20 are arranged thereon and after the bottle body has been properly filled with the desired fluid the mentioned members are arranged in the position described and shown and the stopper 23 is then placed in the passage 21 to close the same. Now when it is desired to remove some of the contents of the bottle body the stopper 23 is removed from the passage 21 and upon tilting the bottle body it will be apparent that the cap 19 will be moved forwardly to partially uncover the passage 18 of the valve seat 14, thus permitting the fluid to pass from the bottle body through the passage ,18 and thence into the valve chamber 13, from which it will pass through the passage 21. It should be particularly noted that the cork 20 constitutes stop member to limit the movement of the cap 19 and that by providing the tapered passage 21 and the horizontal passage 22 in which the passage 21 terminates, the flow of fluid from the valve chamber to the exterior of the bottle body will not be restricted in any way when the bottle body is tilted. It will be understood that I do not limit myself to the particular construction disclosed herein and that various departures may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

In combination with a neck of a bottle, a tubular frusto-conical valve seat supported on the neck and having a reduced tubular portion extending into the neck, an auxiliary neck encircling the first mentioned neck and supported on the upper portion of the Patented Oct. 20, 1914.

bottle with the said auxiliary neck forming a valve chamber into which the frustoconical portion of the valve seat extends, a valve supported on the frusto-conical portion of the valve seat and movable thereon to be advanced or retreated in the valve chamber, said valve, normally closing the tubular portion of the said valve seat, and a cork carried in the auxiliary neck and provided with a longitudinal passage and a transverse passage extending entirely across the under side of the cork and communicating at its medial portion With the longitudinal passage in the cork, said cork constituting a stop member to limit the movement of the frusto-conical valve in the valve chamber when the bottle is tilted Without interfering With the flow of fluid from the bottle into the said transverse passage in the cork and thence into the longitudinal passage therein.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
